Good to know

Comfort is paramount. From mindful mattress selection to cushy outdoor furniture, we've taken every detail into account to create an optimal experience for our guests. Bedrooms: Queen bedroom on the main level across from a bathroom with shower. King bedroom tucked away on the lower level with a peekaboo lake view. The bathroom on this level has a tub/shower. Also on the lower level, is a family/tv room with a bunk space. From the family room, sliding glass doors lead out to a screened porch for bug-free dining and lounging. The kitchen is the hub of the cabin with a large island and lake views. You'll have everything you need to do as much or as little cooking as you prefer. Espresso maker, French press, coffee grinder, KitchenAid mixer, blender, quality knives and cookware with all the tools needed to help you cook with ease. The dining table looks out to lake and mountain views, and seats 6 (4 more at the island). The living room is a cozy space to unwind, with a gas fireplace and comfy sectional. We provide s’mores makings and firewood for the campfire! Roast a marshmallow at the fire pit and gaze at the stars. Our swimming beach is pebbly and perfect for launching watercraft as well as for children to swim. It’s pretty shallow and protected from big wake, only about 4 feet at the deepest point- gently sloped for little swimmers. Our outdoor gear is all available for guests to play on the lake. Kayaks, paddleboards, life jackets, and canoe. You'll have two docks for your boat. Plenty of outdoor seating on the deck overlooking the lake, screened porch on lower level, near the beach. You’ll love our peaceful bay! Please, note: Flathead Lake is fed by melting snowpack. This means the water levels of the lake vary depending on the season. Water levels begin to recede in October/November and the melting snowpack begins to refill the lake in April/May. During late spring, there is usually no water or snow directly in front of the house. Our bay is still a tranquil getaway, but please know the water levels change with the seasons. We look forward to sharing this little bit of heaven with you!!

Other Details to Note

We have baby gear, toys, dishes, kid's life jackets, beach toys, etc. please let us know if you would like any of these items, and we'll be sure to have them ready for you. We have kids and have made the cabin a kid-friendly zone. Pricing for this cabin is seasonal. Check out our The Flathead Lake Retreat website for direct booking option.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Our quaint little town of Lakeside, just 4 miles to the north, has great options for coffee, breakfast, baked goods, casual and fine dining, and a grocery store. If you decide to venture up north, Whitefish Mountain Resort offers fun outdoor activities for all ages: zipline, alpine slides, gondola rides, mountain biking, huckleberry picking, and hiking. The picturesque little town of Whitefish boasts fun little shops and great dining. For all of the basics, Kalispell is a 30 minute drive away. Target, Costco, bigger grocery stores, library, etc. Bigfork, a pretty 30 minute drive around the top of Flathead Lake, is a cute village full of art shops, local theatre, and great dining options. Last but not least, Glacier National Park is a must-see. It is difficult to describe how stunning and awe inspiring it is...if you've never been, you'll have to make the 50-minute drive to see for yourself. So much to explore. Spectacular hiking. Stop at Eddie's for a scoop of huckleberry ice-cream on the shores of Lake McDonald. We look forward to sharing our little slice of heaven with you and hope you make some good memories!

A special place! Even better than the pictures. We could have stayed for an entire month. We LOVED every minute of it. So many thoughtful details and the views were unmatched! Will definitely be back!!

This was one of our favorite places we have ever stayed. Every single thing about this house and setting was perfect. Jenna’s care and love for this home is evident in every corner. My 21 year old daughter said as we were leaving, “I’m really going to miss this place!”

Jenna's cabin on flathead lake was incredible! Truly peaceful and blessing to get to stay there. My family truly loved it. We would love to return sometime in the future. Her Airbnb was the most furnished Airbnb I have ever stayed in. (Bug spray, bear spray, spices, foil (etc), soap, shampoo and conditioner, even tissues and Laundry soap!) The paddle boards, kayaks and paddle boat were truly bonus features! We love our time at the lake. Thank you Jenna for being very responsive. Truly a great host!

Everything was just as pictured/described. The setting couldn’t have been more perfect, so private. There was ample space for our party of 6. It was so nice having use of the kayaks/paddle boards, one less thing for us to have to try to coordinate. Jenna was prompt and so helpful with her communication. Would definitely stay here again!

This cabin is by far our favorite place. Kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked. We just checked out and are already planning our 3rd stay! Jenna is an absolute perfect host for the most perfect cabin.

The cabin was PERFECT! We stayed here for a week long mountain getaway and it was absolutely everything we expected and more! The cabin was STOCKED! I mean, stocked! There wasn’t a single thing I could’ve thought of that wasn’t at the cabin. We couldn’t stop talking about how nice it was to have so much stuff accessible at a bnb. The views were stunning and we used the kayaks to get out on the lake. The view from the hot tub (and the hot tub itself) was perfect! The location was also super good, so many state parks and not too far from West Glacier. The information binder for the cabin also made everything so easy, there were even descriptions for ‘random’ house noises to make guests aware. We couldn’t recommend this cabin more, and would totally come back for another stay!

Jenna has created an incredibly perfect home away from home. Our stay exceeded our expectations in every way. The view was perfect and we only heard the local wildlife. Jenna was super responsive when we contacted her and helped when I needed to track down my missing keys. One really important highlight was that the toiletries, amenities, bedding and mattresses were very high quality and extremely comfortable. It can be very challenging to determine this from photos! There is incredible attention to detail and the kitchen was a dream to create meals. A great selection of popular books, puzzles and games in the living room. Looking out on to Flathead Lake, listening to the various birds while relaxing in the bubbling hot tub (exquisitely cleaned and maintained) has become one of my “core memories”. I definitely look forward to staying here again in the future!

This is a beautiful home in a scenic area. It has a welcoming, high end feel with nice touches throughout. From a fully stocked kitchen, to plenty of cozy blankets, to cool decor, to jewelry dishes at your bedside and coasters on all side tables. It was easy to relax, feel at home and yet a bit spoiled. The huge windows allow for an amazing view. We got to see wildlife from the porch. Jenna's binder of instructions, tips and recommendations was very helpful. My oldest teen was so impressed with the organization that his motto became 'is this (or would this be) Jenna approved?' :) Jenna was responsive, helpful, warm and cordial before and during the stay. We stayed 3 nights to explore Lakeside, Whitefish and Glacier during the late winter off-season. That made the area quiet and peaceful; though we didn't get enjoy getting into lake but can only imagine how wonderful that would be too. We hope to come back one day to experience diifferent seasons in the area.

What a perfect setting for a peaceful birthday weekend! Jenna’s place has SO much thought, care, attention to detail. The design, lighting, hook placement, stocked kitchen, amazing hot tub, cozy seating were some of our favorite bits. We also were able to walk along the road which was amazing for fresh air, movement, and more views! A total success and very much hope to be back.
